How do I find an active Ethernet jack?

Suites Wall Jack

There is at least one active internet jack for each student living in the suites. Each port will be marked with your room number and some letters; for example, 123-AA. Only ports ending in the letter "A" are active for Ethernet. Port names ending in "B" are either open or are active for phone. So, 123-AA would be an Ethernet port, while 123-AB would be inactive (unused phone line).

The Punxsutawney Living Center has a third numbering scheme. Any port labeled BA or AB should be active.
